Robert Morriss Browning correspondence to Mabel C. Williams, August-December, 1919

1919-10-29 Robert M. Browning to Dr. Mabel C. Williams Page 2

Moines, so I climbed on their special train, and had a wonderful time.
At Waterloo I found Louise Browning Zim quite a determined little mite. She had a remarkable spirit of self determination and otherwise showed a lot of pep. I'm quite proud of her.
I read of a football victory over Nebraska and have been wondering what luck Iowa has had in the rest of the schedule.
In New York on my way to Camp Dix I went to the Seminary to chapel Sunday and then got Penny's address but he was not at home. At Hoboken I tried several times to phone him without success.
At Buffalo I purchased another Kodak and am taking about fifty rolls of films along. Maybe I'll send you a snapshot of Germany if I get to a good observation point.
Will you please give me all the news about our mutual friends in Iowa City? I was glad to see in the letter I found at Camp Dix that Nesta is to spend her whole time on music. She loves it so that it is a shame that her people insisted upon her trying to do anything else. Is Miss Knight to help Dr. Starbuck? I understand that another one or two of my girlfriends are to be back at the U. but don't k now in what work? can you tell me? And Reaves & Hansen&  Bunch are they OK now. Maybe I'll get up pep enough to write to them. Perhaps an open letter to the Gang would be more economical and from the ones who were interested enough in me to reply I could make out a better mailing list.
For the next few days I expect to be busy as a cat with seven litters but hope to be settled somewhere in a couple of weeks so I can have time to tell you all about things.
Sincerely yours, Bob
Lt. Robert M. Browning, 50th Inf.
Provisional Infantry Brigade,
American Expeditionary Forces.
